That doesn't exactly shock me. It's like cooking with anything else- sometimes you're going to get a piece with a chocolate chip and sometimes you're going to get a piece with half a chocolate chip and sometimes two. You'll always get at least a LITTLE chocolate chip because there's a ton of chocolate chips per cookie, but you're never going to get a uniform amount.
I'm not even sure how you would achieve it. A centrifuge?
But also, I doubt they're working with the exact same strain every single time and I also wouldn't be shocked if the amount of THC in any strain was actually pretty variable per-plant or maybe even per-bud. There are probably a lot of factors involved they are probably super-simplifying things at best and just outright lying at worst.
I mean, for gunmies I'd imagine it's like making jello. In which case, ensure the mixture is mixed thoroughly and not by some dude named Ben who is using a wooden spoon. I'm not in the business so maybe it's easier said than done.
That's basically what concentrates are. Turn all the good stuff into liquid and then smoke that.
That would probably deliver a much more consistent high, but even then I would not be surprised if it varied by batch.
I think a lot more research needs to be done on cannabis botany, THC strength, etc. But it won't happen until more countries legalize it.
Edit: It's shameful in terms of legality how narrow that is...

And this is how I realized you could take a cannabis tour down the entire length of the North American Pacific coast. It would make a fun documentary. If I still had my entertainment industry contacts... but oh well.
What is interesting is you’ll find a live rosin/resin edible vs a distillate edible offers a vastly different high imo. Distillate is almost soulless in comparison
It's still at the mercy of how much total stuff was pulled out of their harvest, so yeah. If the harvest sucks, the resulting concentrates will also suck. But still more consistent the whole batch through even if they only test 1% of it since it's all one big soup instead of a bunch of varying plants.
At least, assuming they test the concentrate itself and not the plants before processing... 🤔
